VALVE AND FAUCET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 433,198, dated July 29,1890. Application filed February 6, 1890. Serial No. 339,501. (Nomodel.)

To @ZZ 1071.077?, it may concern:

Be it kn own thatI, ARTHUR H OMER DAUCHY, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of San Diego, in the county of San Diego andState of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Valves and Faucets for Extracting Fluids from Cans, Barrels, Bottles,die., of which the followin g is a speciiication.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple and efficient deviceby which the liquid contents of a can, barrel, bottle, or other vesselmay be readily drawn therefrom when so desired, and which will be soconstructed as to entirely close the can and permit the removal of thefaucet when the liquid is not being withdrawn. This object I accomplishby the use of the device shown in the accompanyin g drawings; and theinvention consists in certain novel features of the same, as will behereinafter described and pointed out.

In the drawings referred to, Figure 1 is a perspective view of anoil-can having my improved device applied thereto. Fig. 2 is alongitudinal section of the faucet. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section ofthe valve. Fig. 4. is a view of a washer or ring at the inner end of thevalve-cylinder. Fig. 5 is a view showing the valve-cylinder in a sideand end elevation. Fig. 6 is a view of the spring which holds the valvenormally closed. Fig. 7 is a side view of the valve. Fig. S is a sideview of the valve-seat and support for the faucet. Fig. 9 is a frontview of the valve-seat, and Figs. 10 and ll are detail views showing amodified construction of the front end of the valve-seat.

Referring to the drawings by letter, l designates the can, which may beof the usual or any preferred construction and is provided with anopenin g at a proper point of one of its walls for the insertion of thevalve-cylinder, as shown most clearly in Fig.

The valve-cylinder A is constructed of sheet metal rolled into theproper form and provided at its inner end with a series of projectionsor teeth B, which are bent Einward, as shown most clearly in Fig. 5, soas to form a rest for the ring or stop C, which is provided with acentral opening in which the stem Iof the valve ismounted. The cylinderA is also provided with a series of openings D, through which the liquidcontents of the vessel pass into the cylinder, and the valve K isnormally projected forward and in advance of these pcrforations D by thespring J, which is arranged around the valve between the valve and thering O.

The valve is provided on its outer or front face with the cushion L,formed of rubber, leather, or other suitable similar material, andadapted to rest against the rear side of the valve-seat E and form atight joint, so as to prevent the leakage of the liquid.

The valve-seat consists of a cylinderE, having an annular iiange IIatits outer end, which is adapted to rest against the outer side of thecan and be secured thereto, and provided at its inner end with anannular shoulder or collar F, which rests against the inner surface ofthe cylinder A and forms a tight joint therewith. A hollow conicalsupport Gis scoured concentrically within the cylinder E and forms arest for the faucet when the device is in use.

M designates the faucet, which consists of an approximately L-shapcdtube having a projection O on its upper y side which serves as athumb-rest, and provided in its interior with a bracket-tube, in whichand the front wall at the faucet a sliding key or plug N is mounted.

In practice when it is desired to extract some of the contents of thevessel, the end of the faucet is inserted in the cylinder E and over thesupport G, after which the key Nis pushed through the said support Gagainst the valve, and the valve thereby forced rearward, so as topermit the liquid to pass through the perforations D and the support Ginto the faucet and thence to any suitable receptacle. After the desiredquantity of liquid has been withdrawn the key N is drawn forward and thefaucet removed, when the valve is automatically thrown against thevalveseat, so as to out off the iiow of liquid by the spring J, as willbe readily understood.

In Figs. 10 and ll I have shown the flange Il as provided with verticalfaces having the guiding ribs or cleats I, in which a verticallyslidinggate .I is mounted. This gate is adapted, when the dev ic'e is not inuse, to be IOC pushed downward, so as to close the opening in thevalve-seat, and consequently prevent dirt collecting 0n the saine andalso prevent insects passing into the valve-eylinder. The verticalmovement of the gate is limited by a teat L, formed on the outer sideofthe flange and engaging a groove Kin the gate, as Clearly shown.

My improved device is very simple in its construction and efficient inits operation.

The severalparts are Compaotly arranged and the advantages of the deviceare thoughtYY to be obvious.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby YLetters Patent, isM
